Chapter 2 Never Give Up
In the blink of an eye, the strongest Knight Captain on the team was killed. The defenders, who had lost their backbone, also collapsed in an instant. A knight lost his life inexplicably, and the remaining soldiers were completely crushed as if they had lost their lives. A large number of apostles took the opportunity to rush to the walls and turn into death, and the surviving soldiers only put up sporadic resistance before most of them were killed or wounded.
After struggling to shoot a quiver, Viren didn't have time to check the results of the battle, and he rolled sideways, barely dodging the giant axe attack of an apostle soldier, Viren was very aware of his half-pound archery skills and the strength of the apostle soldiers, and knew that it was impossible to shoot the bloodthirsty monster in front of him at such a close distance with just a few arrows left by himself. Now the only way is to get cover by trying to get as far away as possible, and Viren took the opportunity to look at the situation around him, and helplessly felt that there was basically no support.
The apostolic soldier who hit the air with a single blow did not pull out the giant axe embedded in the city wall, but casually picked up a long knife that had fallen to the ground and approached directly towards Viren. After a few dodges, Viren panted and leaned against the ruins of a ruined wall. After that, the only way to do this is to jump off the walls and hand yourself over to the monsters waiting to eat meat under the walls. The few remaining defenders now have only a handful of acquaintances, and there is basically no possibility of receiving support. The Apostle still had no intention of stopping, and after cleanly eliminating the two Apostle soldiers and a few defender soldiers who were still resisting along the way, he was only less than five meters away from Wei Lun at this moment. In the eyes of the apostle soldiers, such a close distance only required a slight wave of his knife to easily separate the body of the weak little insect in front of him.
"I'm going to cut off your hands and feet, and I'm going to throw you off the wall like a chicken. The apostle swung his knife at Viren, who couldn't resist, and Viren had no choice but to subconsciously close his eyes and raise the broken longbow in his hand to resist. However, after a few breaths, the cold blade did not cut through the bow and fell on him as expected. As if centuries had passed, Viren opened his eyes and looked around. I saw that the apostle, who had been so arrogant before, had now thrown himself out of the city wall, fell to the ground, and lost signs of life. A pitch-black arrow pierced the apostolic soldier's eye socket on the hideous head, and the feathers of the arrow, which emitted a strange black aura, were still shaking to themselves. Viren looked gratefully into the city, where a man who had hidden himself in a wide run was walking with his back to him to a nearby house.
Without waiting for Viren to thank this man for saving his life, suddenly the already crumbling city wall finally collapsed under the two crushing and tireless attacks. A large number of apostolic soldiers took the opportunity to pour into the city, and the majestic city that had once made the Dammos people helpless finally came to its end.
Can't give up, can't give up!! But I didn't expect that these indiscriminate arrows would also have results. Two brainless apostle soldiers were shot in the head and heart and fell to the ground unwillingly, and one unlucky ghost was shot in the eye and turned into a one-eyed dragon. However, the surging army of the Apostles did not stop at the few unlucky ones, and these terrifying creatures did not even bother to look at the scattered soldiers of the city like Viren, and at a glance they ran straight for their only and ultimate target, the palace.
"Organize your defenses, hold them back!, we can't let them get near the palace anymore!" one of the surviving commanders tried his best to keep the crumbling army at bay, "The troops close to the palace retreat to the castle!!" Unfortunately, the remaining soldiers were quickly flooded by the tide like a few seaweeds in the sea under the huge army of the Apostles. Only a few of the more powerful elites fled into the castle. After the distant Viren and a few other survivors dispersed into several nearby houses, Viren and the other two soldiers were surprised to see a dozen civilians who were either on guard or trembling in the dim moonlight. Viren was taken aback, "What's going on, why didn't you retreat into the secret passage?" The whole room was very dark, and by the light Viren could see that except for four or five young adults, the rest were old and weak, women and children. "We didn't have time, they were too fast. One of them, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "All the neighbors who didn't have time to escape are basically here, and there are a few children and an adult upstairs, but they are basically injured." Are you here to get us out?"
Viren smiled helplessly, "The city wall has been breached, and the enemy has invaded the city. There are only three or four of us, and it is difficult to protect ourselves, so we can only watch it. I saw that the other two soldiers also looked down, and one of them didn't even know where the weapon had been thrown a long time ago. The other soldiers seemed to be quite combative, but what was the use of these people alone? At that moment, the door of the house was kicked open, and several burly apostle soldiers dodged into the house one after another. The bloodthirsty apostles swung their weapons at the desperate old and weak women and children like beasts, and in a matter of moments most of the people in the room were killed and wounded. In desperation, Viren threw down his bow, raised the candlestick on the table, and slammed it at one of the apostles, striking him in the eye. The apostle hurriedly swung the broadsword in his hand, just in time to cut the soldier who was completely demoralized and had no fighting spirit at all. The sharp blade got stuck under the armor and bones. Another soldier took the opportunity to slash off the apostle's head with a short knife in his hand. "It's finally open!" Before he could celebrate, the soldier turned on to another apostle, who was quickly defeated without cover. The other apostles didn't have the slightest intention of helping, and still waved all kinds of weapons in their hands at the unarmed civilians.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, and Wei Lun had no way to pull out his hands to rescue those innocent civilians because of the enemy on the opposite side. At this time, the leader of the civilians stood up to assist Viren in eliminating his enemy, and handed his weapon, a longsword with a unique shape, to Veron: "Don't bury my heirloom!" While Viren was still stunned, the civilian leader turned back and threw himself at an apostle soldier who was attacking innocent civilians. Even though Viren reacted immediately and tried to kill the soldier, he saw that the civilian leader had a bright knife stuck in his chest. "Hurry upstairs, there's a kid upstairs... These were the last words of the civilian leader who died in battle.
I hope nothing has happened to those children! Ignoring the other Viren and the remaining soldiers, he climbed up to the second floor, looking at the remaining children and the only surviving adult, Viren finally breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the apostle who was following upstairs, Viren and the other soldier subconsciously clenched their weapons in their hands, ready to make a final hand. At that moment, the surviving adult, who had not moved, stood up from the corner of the wall and walked behind them, pulling out a purple longbow from behind his back.
"Yes, never give up resistance!" said the adult coldly and approvingly, and then the bodies of the two apostles who had been shot in front of each other on the stairs fell with a bang.
